It's a small thing, really.
But it makes me smile...makes me giggle even...to think of it.
I've created items for clients, family and friends for years. Often it's for a local client and I get to physically be there to see how everything fits together in it's new home.
Sometimes, the items are shipped across the country. (And this, too, makes me smile.) But this...this is a first for me.
Today, through the beauty of Facebook, I got to see how a set of pillows I made look in their new home...
in Manchester, England!
(I'm smiling even now...can you tell?)

If you've visited my daughter Kaleigh's blog, you might have noticed she is dating a wonderful young man she calls, "Mr. Darcy". Mr. Darcy is from Manchester, England.
Mr. Darcy's parents, lovingly referred to by Kaleigh as "Wendy Darling" and "Sir Paul", came to Oklahoma for a visit last fall. While here, Wendy requested a set of "cushions" for her home using the zebra print, green and orange.
And here they now reside. In England.
See, I told you. It's a small thing, really.
It's not like they're in Buckingham Palace! But it makes me smile.
Thank you for the pictures Paul & Wendy! You made my day!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun to know that you have spread joy all the way across the ocean with your sewing skills. LOVE it! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh that is fun. I love the name Mr Darcy too. Made me smile as well.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be able to send things abroad! Your fan club has expanded!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing! It would make me smile and probably make my day, too, Sonya! To think there's a "Sonya Special" sitting on a loveseat in England! : )
ReplyDeleteI love Manchester! That one of the really awesome things about the internet isn't it? It's like you can travel the world from your laptop. You did a wonderful job on the pillows too!
ReplyDeleteI got a thrill this week when a larger piece of furniture sold form my booth, it's just exciting! We get to do what we love :)
Smiles warm the heart, and you've warmed their home :)
ReplyDeleteNice story :)

Hi, Sonya -- Hope you have been well! Your pillows are great, and I think they look wonderful in this pretty home. What do you mean they're not in "Buckingham Palace?" They are in an even more deserving place, where the owners of your beautiful pillows will truly appreciate them. :)
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
How cute! Love 'em!
ReplyDeleteNow we can say we knew you before you went Int'l. :-) Great job! Love the accents on the pillows.
